Mayhem, mystery and murder in August

It’s all happening at the Regal Camana Stadium 6 in the upcoming weeks, with the return of Jason Bourne, the arrival of a “Sausage Party” that is definitely not for the kids, and the premiere of the much-anticipated “Suicide Squad.” If the reports from the recent Comic-Con in San Diego are anything to go by, some of these films are gonna be doozies.

For those who missed the early release of “Lights Out” at an exclusive showing, courtesy of CayFilm, never fear – it is here with a vengeance in the middle of August. Many horror films suffer terrible reviews, but “Lights Out” appears to be one of those rare birds that has garnered a high percentage of positive critiques.

Will the “Ben Hur” remake be something to write home about, or will it crash and burn like the losing chariot in a race? You be the judge.

“Bad Moms” brings some humor to the mix, and “War Dogs” is based on an unbelievably true story, starring Miles Teller, Bradley Cooper and Jonah Hill.

Here are the films on the calendar. Please note that dates are subject to change, so check the Regal Camana Bay website for any updates and to purchase your tickets online.
